Re: Housemartins - First Brood Hatches 1st June

Well they're nesting on either side of our house in the eaves and on the sidings to one of the houses too. I feel a bit paranoid looking at up them in case the neighbours think I'm spying on them! We just got home a short while ago and they're there making that wonderful call! It almost sounds like a laugh!

So the sky is littered with swallows, swifts and house martins at present .. it's rather noisey but wonderful to see!

Just think, I'd never seen a house martin until today and now they're nesting feet away!
